== French == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /a.ne/ === Etymology 1 === ==== Suffix ==== -anée (adjective-forming suffix, plural -anées) obsolete form of -ané (“-aneous”) méditerranée ― mediterraneous ===== Usage notes ===== In modern French, only words descending from Latin borrowings of Greek origin ending in the suffixes -ēus/-ēum, -aeus/-aeum (and exceptionally -ius/-ium, as in élysée/Élysée) are written with -ée in the masculine. Words descending from Latin words in -āneus are now written with the ending -ané. The first four editions of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française spelled these words with -anée before adopting the current spelling in the fifth edition. === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Suffix ==== -anée feminine singular of -ané
